Recently, I needed to get a new laptop. My old one had kept going for a long time because, of course, I’ve got access to all the tools at our disposal here at BEA Solutions, but nothing lasts forever, so it was time for a change. Marc and I spoke about options, and it was actually him who selected my new laptop. It came in at a total cost of £343.43, whereas the equivalent brand new would have set me back £1,049.99, an extra £701.56! Now, whilst a saving of £701.56 might sound impressive, it means nothing if performance isn’t up to scratch. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. So, the question is how it’s doing. So far, it’s been absolutely faultless.
“BEA Solutions are able to provide your technology solutions, be it a repair, a new or reconditioned device.” It is exponentially better than anything I would have paid around £300 for new, and there’s no discernable loss of speed or usability compared with a brand new device in the £1,000 price range. BEA Solutions are clearly able to help provide your technology solutions, be it a repair, a new or a reconditioned device. So, make BEA Solutions your first port of call when you need help with anything in the world of technology. For more information and help, please contact us today on 023 9298 8855 or email help@beasolutions.com. Visit our website: www.beasolutions.com.

Authors for Autumn
Lose yourself this September within the pages of these thrilling fictional offerings.
Never Saw Me Coming by Vera Kurian (September 9) Thriller lovers will enjoy getting stuck into Vera Kurian’s fresh take on the psychopath trope whose main protagonist is Chloe, a ‘First-year student, ordinary, legging-wearing, girl next door...and highly intelligent diagnosed psychopath.’ A sharp, electrifying and hugely entertaining thriller with an antiheroine who will work her manipulative magic on you. Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty (September 14) Fans of Moriarty will revel in the twisty, thrilling joys in this highly anticipated release, centred on the disappearance of wife Joy Delaney. No note, no calls, her bike missing – it’s natural that tongues will wag… but for the children involved there is a much more terrifying question: did they ever know their parents at all? The Magician by Colm Tóibín (September 23) The Magician tells the story of Thomas Mann, whose life
was filled with great acclaim and contradiction. Through war, he would have six children and keep his homosexuality hidden; a man forever connected to his family and yet bore witness to the ravages of suicide, eventually winning the Nobel Prize. The Hill We Climb and Other Poems by Amanda Gorman Anyone who watched the inauguration of the 46th President of The United States, Joe Biden, will remember the stirring and highly emotive reading by Amanda Gorman of her poem The Hill We Climb. Now presenting her debut collection of poetry under the same name, Gorman further proves her extraordinary talent and potential as one of literature’s brightest rising stars. Published by Chatto & Windus on September 21

Chosen C h ar i t y
Engaging new drain art project highlights the impact of littering on the environment.
A colourful new art project has been launched in Emsworth, Hampshire, targeting littering on our streets. Ten new pieces of art based on designs by local schoolchildren are being installed on pavements next to road drains to highlight the link between littering in our towns and plastic pollution in our rivers, harbours and wider seas. The project has been enabled by local Hampshire charity the Final Straw Foundation. The charity’s founder, Bianca Carr, explains, “Back in early 2020, we decided that we would love to install art to highlight the way that litter and other pollutants can be washed with rainwater down the road drains on our streets
and end up in the sea. We ran a competition open to local schoolchildren to create some beautiful designs that we could use as a base for the drain murals. We chose around 15 beautiful and colourful designs that a local artist would then paint onto our local streets.”
“It’s so important that we all protect our delicate ecosystems, and these artworks will help drive that message home,” The team at the Final Straw Foundation hope this project will bring a bit of fun and colour to the local area’s pavements and deliver a vital message. Bianca continues, “It’s so important that we all protect our delicate ecosystems, and these artworks will help drive that message home, and we hope it will make a difference to the levels of littering locally. The message really applies not just to drains but to all litter on our streets. It’s so easy for it to blow around and end up in our countryside as well as our waters - fingers crossed these murals remind people to value and take care of our wonderful planet!”. You can find out more about the drain art project here: https://finalstrawfoundation. org/projects-and-activities/drain-art-project/
The charity is always looking for volunteers, business supporters and collaborations - to find out more, please visit finalstrawfoundation.org The Final Straw Foundation is an environmental charity, number 1191500. To advertise your business call 01730 260746 or email sales@thedirectorygroup.co.uk

Thatcher, the milk snatcher Fifty years since Maggie gained the somewhat unfair reputation as the Milk Snatcher. In June 1971, Thatcher, then Health Secretary, put through a bill to end the provision of school milk for children above the age of seven. The reasons were clear – firstly, Britain was a long way from the bankrupted and bulldozed nation it had been in the late 1940s when it was introduced to prop up the health of our post-War youngsters. Secondly, Thatcher noted that free school milk was costing more than £14 million per year. For context, that was twice as much as was being spent on books. The era of school milk had to be disposed of, and the leftleaning press immediately jumped on the minister with a ‘Thatcher, the Milk Snatcher’ tag that followed the future Prime Minister to her grave. Yet there were a couple of twists in the tale. Firstly, while the opposition Labour government bemoaned a loss of traditional values and laid accusations of starving the nation’s children (something that echoes all too closely to modern-day politics), kids all across the country were thrilled by the move. Many hated the room temperature milk, and
its estimated over a third of deliveries were returned to dairies anyway. In addition, while the Iron Lady shrugged off the nickname and the reputation as the person who had robbed children of their milk – shadow National Archive, showed that Thatcher confirmed her regret at the removal of school milk, admitting it haunted her right the way through to the point at which she left politics in 1990. She admitted that while she took a tough stance, the row almost caused her to leave politics: “I learned a valuable lesson [from the experience]. I had incurred the maximum of political odium for the minimum of political benefit.”
education spokesman Edward Short labelled the Tories’ action as “the meanest and most unworthy thing” – it was actually his very own Labour government who had started the withdrawal of milk three years earlier, initially to secondary school pupils. Thatcher merely extended the cull to those over the age of seven, and passed the bill confirming its permanent removal. That said, a 2016 piece in The Guardian based on recently released files from the
These days, free school milk is back on the menu, while the Nursery Milk Scheme provides it for free in pre-school settings. It’s a great source for calcium, protein, nutrients, and vitamins such as B12 and D. And despite food intolerances and a move towards vegan thinking, milk consumption levels in the UK have been maintained by a growing tendency for dairybased coffees, such as lattes, flat whites and cappuccinos. It all means that in the UK each year over 96% of Brits use milk, consuming, on average, one-and-a-quarter pints each per day.

Heard it through the great vine Recently celebrating 30 years at the BBC, broadcaster and TV presenter Jeremy Vine talks up the modern era of ‘I-power’, and how as individuals we hold more sway than at any time in the past. “I think we are a great nation for radio, for argument, for discussion, for culture… possibly the best in the world. I think there’s something about being British. Take, for example, the twitter account called Very British Problems - it’s hilarious. “I love the British humour; I love the fact if I say ‘Bruce Forsyth’ or some such to someone they have immediately got a whole catalogue of memories going back years. I love that. “I have put on air over 30,000 phone calls across 18 years of my lunchtime show and have learned a lot over the years. I’ve learned
about all sorts of things, all sorts of places and people. “I think what has dawned on me most though is the fact we are now firmly in an era of ‘i-power’, as I term it. The concept is that lived experience now holds a greater sway over so-called ‘expertise’ – and has been at the centre of some huge shifts in politics and society over the last couple of years. “It’s a new idea in the sense it has been accelerated by social media, but in reality it has been at the heart of human nature going back centuries. I-power is tremendously strong, and it’s everywhere.”
